[Vwdiesel] Water Leaks

[Erik Lane]

Ooh, now that's a real possibility! I get water in the trunk too - my left
rear quarterpanel is smashed a bit. I didn't think that the damage would
leak like it does sometimes so I kept looking for water to be going the
other way - from the passenger compartment backwards, not the other way
around. But one day I found that the seam between quarterpanel and the rear
of the car has come apart just a little and water comes in that way. I never
even thought to look for water migrating from the trunk forwards.

Loren - the plastic is not quite attached at the bottom, but it does overlap
the metal of the door so I thought that it would be ok. I'll have to take
another look at it and test it. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you!
